Instructions: Peel the potatoes, and cut into uniform large dice. Cover with water, bring to a boil and boil until very tender. Drain well.

Return the potatoes to the pot. Add the butter, salt and pepper. Using a masher, mash the potatoes until the butter has melted. Add a little of the milk or other liquid, and continue to mash. Mash and add milk a little at a time until you reach a consistency you like.
